The ultimate dependence. How do you switch provider when you don't understand the job that the current one is doing

Let's see what governance they put around this.
But if we're going to use LLMs in gov, shouldn't it be in a provider-agnostic way?

These services will have deeper roots than 'dumb' case management systems from current big gov vendors. They'll be making decisions and take over the 'burden' of domain knowledge and process facilitation. All in the black box of LLMs.

"OpenAI and DSIT will collaborate to identify opportunities for how advanced AI models can be deployed throughout government [...]"

What happens when we start building gov digital services that rely on OpenAI's models?

Maybe this is the ultimate sales trick:
Warp the world so your product feels unavoidable, then gaslight users into thinking they’re the problem if it feels off.

Let's call it "Shame-driven growth"?

Dating apps rewired how we date, ruined our social skills and made it harder to meet people offline.

LLMs are doing the same to work: our colleagues rely on them, companies mandate them, and “not using AI” suddenly looks like falling behind

Excellent "correction" piece, bringing more perspectives in! I don't work in S&T, but I find these reactions relatable as someone working in Tech. We see a lot of questionable strategies and decisions and have little power to challenge them. Especially when the job market is so tight...

Interesting / sad that the skills that give humans value, i.e. relationship building, empathy, collaboration, dealing with other complex human beings, handling conflict, etc. , are the ones that younger generations are at risk of losing first

I see two types of people:

1/ The ones who have already made their decision and just want to be reassured that it's right will read the summary and leave it at that if it's validating their choice

2/ The ones who are on the fence and want the real, hidden crap will go look at the real reviews

I unpack the US AI Action Plan in the latest #TheAILibrary and I wonder:

Aren’t there better goals for the national and global development AI than “winning the race”?

Meanwhile, China’s global AI plan announced this weekend emphasises cooperation. Very different tone.

Mind you, it's likely a façade to appeal to the Global South, but at least it doesn't scream "WE'LL GET THERE FIRST" in your face... wherever "there" is.
